You can’t go a week without a restaurant or cafe being shut down for food regulation problems. It’s also very common to read of imports and exports rejected at foreign borders for not meeting the strict regulations.
It makes sense then for businesses involved in either the selling or manufacturing of food to have the innovative tools on hand. These can identify when there are problems with temperature and address them as soon as possible.
One device that is growing in popularity is the testo 104IR Infrared Thermometer. The device that can used without contact with a surface, and is ideally suitable for both ends of the food sector. It can also be the difference between good and bad produce.
Here are three features of the infrared thermometer:
1) Accuracy
This type of thermometer is highly accurate and allows the temperature to be recorded within 0.1 degrees Celsius. The device has a 1-point laser measure spot marking so readings are made cleanly and quickly and the results can be relayed in a timely manner.
The min./max/ display shows the limit values of the last measurement thus allowing you to analyse the situation and change the environment if necessary.
2) Regulations
This device fulfils Australian hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP) regulations, and this can be proved at any point.
As well as conforming to HACCP, the infrared thermometer meets EN 12485 requirements.
The device is both waterproof and robust thanks to a protective cover TopSafe which is also dishwasher-safe, according to protection class IP65.
3) Easy-to-use
The small thermometer is perfect for any situation in the food sector. Restaurant owners or manufacturing authorities can keep the device close by on their belt or on the wall.
An alarm will alert you when a temperature limit value has been exceeded.
